My Film Bike Travels - Prepping for my first bikepacking trip in Uruguay - video

[MotionPictureTrips]

I'm working on finishing off what I need to do for my firs biketouring trip.

Here's a video I shot about it. I go a bit over what I did, and I'm doing, to my bike. This is a slightly modified mid 2000s GT Aggressor, that I upgraded with a 3x9 setup (Quando hub and shimano pinion, with a KMZ chain and a Shimano 3x crankset) and some other upgrades that I describe there. It's a budget bike, nothing fancy, but it's robust.

This is one of my first long trips (no bikepacking though) I just went to pick up a free tent that was 15 something miles,  for a 30 mile round trip total.

Hope you guys like it. Btw, does anyone know what code to use to embedd a youtube video here? I tried some of the code/script buttons but nothing happens.

Almost ready for my trip. Got a new front shifter installed, but I might need to get a new shorter one, as can't get it to shift all the way to the larger crankcase's plate. Probably I'm doing something wrong.

Also added some pool noodle foam to the rear tire,  to prevent any punctures along the way.

Here's a new pic of the bike.
